Lunches with Lisa

My sister has worked in the hospital system for a number of years and knows people in just about every department. I met her for lunch today and there was a man that I didn't recognize standing at the table talking to her.

She introduced me as I sat down and I heard him saying how happy he is in his new department.

"Nobody gives me a hard time or complains. It's nice and quiet.."

He kept going on about how great things are.

As many of you know who work with the general public, it's not always a walk in the park. In fact, at times, it can be downright challenging. A gathering of ten different people from ten different departments can usually find a common thread and openly vent about something.

I thought to myself, If he's so happy, maybe I should apply to his department. No one giving me a hard time or complaining? Quiet? Sounds fantastic!

When he walked away, I said to Lisa, "He works here at the hospital? I don't understand how he's that thrilled with his job. He didn't make a negative comment about anything. Where does he work?"

A grin spread over Lisa's face, "The morgue."
